As far as imported goods are concerned, in addition to temporary entry into the country, there are two ways recognized by national customs: one is the general trade declaration import, and the other is the express import。For these two forms of import, it should be said that they have their own advantages。
The biggest advantage of general trade declaration is that it can import the required goods in large quantities and provide various taxes and related fees levied by the customs。It provides taxes that can offset and refund taxes on businesses。However, the corresponding restrictions on general trade declaration are also considerable。
First, for bulk and urgently needed goods, general trade does not reflect its own advantages。Because first of all, it takes a relatively slow time (because it requires all the documents and approval documents to be in order, so processing these certificates takes a certain amount of time);
The second is to require the import of goods must use a separate trailer customs entry;This will lead to increased import costs and longer import times。
For express import, its advantages are obvious。First, it does not require the import of goods to provide a variety of documents and related certificates, second, because it requires only the commercial invoice and packing details of the goods - so its declaration time and speed will be faster。It takes about one to two days from the time of receiving the goods to the time of importing the goods to the mainland。If there are more goods, the import can be declared in batches。So the import and export of large quantities of goods can also be quickly operated!
As for import costs, general trade costs are significantly higher than express imports。Since it requires all fees and taxes to be charged on the goods separately, but it may provide corresponding invoices and tax certificates。So for companies that have needs in this area, these are essential。The weakness of express import is that it is not possible to issue various customs invoices to customers separately, because the import process is the import tax and import value added tax on all goods;In addition, the logistics company entrusted with the import must also pay taxes。However, due to the relatively low import cost of express delivery and more general trade, many customers are now keen on this import method。
